Bubble review
A broad no-code builder for full-stack web apps and native mobile publishing.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Bubble is a visual no-code application platform for founders, freelancers, agencies, teams, and enterprises building full-stack web applications and native iOS and Android apps. Its shared projects combine visual design, workflows, a built-in database, user accounts, hosting, API connectivity, plugins, and mobile publishing. That scope makes Bubble a fit for products that need more than a front-end prototype, including applications with custom data types, privacy rules, authentication, automated logic, and external API connections.
Pricing is structured around project-level plan selection. The Free plan includes a development version, API Connector, 50K workload units per month, a native mobile editor, and on-device testing. Web-only Starter costs $29 per month when billed annually or $32 monthly, adding a custom domain, live website, and backend workflows. Web + Mobile Starter costs $59 per month annually or $69 monthly, with five mobile build submissions per month and three live app versions. Growth costs $209 per month annually or $249 monthly and adds premium version control, two app editors, 10 custom branches, and 10 mobile build submissions per month. Team costs $549 per month annually and includes sub apps, five app editors, 25 custom branches, and 20 mobile build submissions per month. A 14-day free trial is also available.
The standout strength is breadth: Bubble combines a visual full-stack editor with REST API connectivity, Incoming Data API and Workflow API capabilities, plugins, AI-assisted frontend and database generation, and publishing to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Integrations include Stripe, Google Maps, Segment, OpenAI, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL. Choose Bubble when one platform needs to cover web, backend logic, data, accounts, and native mobile delivery. Choose another approach when development-only access is sufficient but a narrower tool better matches the project’s needs, or when the plan’s mobile submission and editor limits do not fit the team.
